on my way to work and back
i drive by Qualcomm Stadium
i briefly stopped and got this pictures
of the stadium last night
by now just a few hundreds of evacuees are
staying there, in tents or Motor-homes
a few tents at the parking lots
supplies and more parked cars, most of the people
are staying inside at the grades
the supplies
and as they said, some "pinche" fire facts
from this morning Oct 25, 2007
40% contained, is much better than Tuesday morning
when it was 0% contained...
the active fires are not in the city of San Diego
but in San Diego County, where there are many homes still
but the areas still in danger are fully evacuated
they think by Tuesday next week, the fires could be fully contained
but the dry season is still going on so lots of care and resources
for the burned areas are needed still
things are getting better however every day

things getting better in San Diego and the Fish is fine!
there are still active fires around San Diego county
but in the city of San Diego itself there are NO active fires!
my office is open again!
and silly Bush arrived today to offer Federal help
to the affected areas
the number of evacuees at Qualcomm Stadium
has reduced from 12,000 yesterday
to just 3,000 today! many people have been allowed
to go back home, since many areas have been cleared out
from being in danger of fire
and then cute news come out of the ashes
like this woman on this morning's newspapter
who was evacuated
her house was affected, but she found alive
his son's pet fish, maybe 'cause i have a fish too
this was good news
starting to see things clearer these fiery days
in San Diego
but in the city of San Diego itself there are NO active fires!

these fire days
"Fire Might Spread 'All The Way To The Ocean' Unless the shrieking Santa Ana winds subside, fire crews said that they can do little more than try to wait it out and react."
from NBC San Diego page today Oct 24 2007
and today's fire map from around 11 am
San Diego's main newspaper
The San Diego Union Tribune
continues with the Cartoon tradition
'cause today more than ever
San Diegans need a bit of sense of humor
[click on images for a bigger size]
our Californian flag
the poor bear...
and yes, ironic indeed
worth mentioning that Tijuana major and
Mexican authorities, from the "other side"
of the fence have been sending firefighters
and aids to San Diego
indeed very special and unforgettable times
we are living here these days

500,000 San Diegans to evacuate
the newspaper this morning
October 23, 2007 said
300,000 evacuees
but by 10 pm so far
500,000 people
have been evacuated from their homes!
the major evacuation center is in Qualcomm Stadium
the situation according to evacuees and refugees is under control
so far
very few injured people or firemen
which is the most important part
but sadly the fires are still not under control!
where i live, you cannot see any of the fires
but you can smell the smoke pretty heavy and the sky is orange and smoky
here a map of the Fires around the county
from the San Diego County Emergency Web page
Oct 23, 2007 at 6 pm
the blue dot is where i live, so pretty much the fires are below and above... and well to see those acres and acres of terrain and homes burning, is just heart-breaking... many parts of the area of San Diego county are used to grow avocados, oranges, or grow livestock... many animals shelters are receiving horses, large pets, goats, birds, etc.
very sad situtation, schools are closed, and well, strange to say but sadly our offices are closed, like 1/2 San Diego offices
it seems that Thursday will be the day when things will be better with the wind so the things are expected to calm down then,

Fire in San Diego, still NOT under control
the fires in San Diego county
are still NOT under control
about 250,000 people have been asked
to leave their homes
so far so many homes have been lost
in different areas of the city
there is an official
Fire-blog from Sign0nSanDiego
for online news
and the
San Diego County Emergency Homepage
all local news TV Channels
fox 6
nbc 7/39
and all the other local channels
are just transmitting about the Fires
continuously
there are fires also in Los Angeles
and San Bernardino areas
but San Diego county is the most affected
here the areas of the city to be evacuated or possible evacuated
all the way to the Coast... very sad
still ALL offices and Schools
including major universities
are CLOSED on Tuesday
the whole city is in state of Emergency
they are asking people that has not being evacuated
like me
to stay home and keep of the roads
also the air quality is pretty bad
heavy with smoke and very dry
the main Evacuation center is
Qualcomm Stadium
that is 10 minutes from my house!
where about 10, 000 persons
are sleeping tonight!!!
there are about 19 centers open
for the evacuees to take refugee for the night
and the saddest part, the fires are not controlled yet
and the weather is not helping at all!
they expect the strong winds and temperature to come down
until Wednesday
they are asking also to keep alert during night
as the fires with the strong winds might change direction...
so i guess for a long night of coffee and knitting here...
today the sky has this strange sad
very sad orange and grayish tint
smoke and fire
it is almost surreal
just like it did 4 year ago, in 2003
when the Cedar fires happened
and we thought that was the worst fire in California ever!
just 4 years and here we go again
the infamous Santa Ana winds
very dry winds and strong winds
on an almost hurricane speed
are the main reason why the fire
is so hard to keep under control
but just
keep safe!
are still NOT under control

sunny diego on fire!
October is the fire month
but this time
seem that San Diego has been hit
by one of the worst fires in
California story
last night, I went to bed
watching on the news how 2
big fires took over San Diego County
but this morning, at 5am
i turn on the TV
and the 2 fires have become 8 fires!
the very dry and highly windy conditions
have made this fire very hard to control
so far, many areas of the East and North county
of San Diego have been evacuated
most schools and offices are closed
i went to work but they close the office around 9.30 am
so i came back home
and we all San Diegans are just waiting for
these fires to get under control
the only hope is that the weather helps
specially the winds to mellow
so far Southern California and all the San Diego
city and County have been declared in
state of emergency
the Governator is here in San Diego
and we have so far Federal support to stop
the fire, but sometimes now even all the money
or efforts can stop Nature
we can just can hope for the wind to change direction
and be ready in case of evacuation...
hopefully, things will be back to "normal"
in our city soon
